Fizikai Szemle 1994/12. 481.o. KÉMIAI NOBEL-DÍJ, 1994 A Svéd Királyi Akadémia az 2994. évi kémiai Nobel-díjat George A. Olah, a University of Southern California, USA, professzorának ítélte a karbokation kémiához való hozzájárulásáért. Karbokationok: hipotetikus közbülsõ termékektõl a jóldefiniált molekulákig Középiskolai kémiai tanulmányaink idejérõl emlékszünk arra, hogy sok szervetlen vegyület, amilyen például a konyhasó, elektromos töltésû atomokból vagy atomcsoportokból épül fel. A konyhasó pozitív töltésû nátrium-ionok (Na ) és negatív töltésû klorid-ionok (Cl ) összekapcsolódásának tekinthetõ. Vegyünk egy másik példát: a “Glauber-só", Na SO , két Na ion és egy SO ion kapcsolódása. Az ilyen elektromos töltésû részecskék - “ionok" gyakoriak a szervetlen vegyületek világában, ámde éppen ellenkezõ a helyzet a szerves vegyületek, különösen szénhidrogének esetén. A szénhidrogének két elembõl álló vegyületek: hidrogénhól (H) és szénbõl (C) állnak. A szénhidrogének a szerves vegyületek igen nagy és fontos csoportját alkotják - például a legtöbb természetes ásványolaj-termék szénhidrogén. Jóllehet a századforduló táján néhány kémikus elõállított olyan szénhidrogéneket, amelyekrõl azt gondolták, hogy ionosak - például a benzolból és a metánból készített egyik vegyületcsoportról (a triarilmetán származékokról) -, de ezeket általában kuriózumoknak tartották. Amikor néhány angol (Ingold és Hughes) és német (Meerwein) vegyész az 1920-as és 1930-as években azt kezdte tanulmányozni, hogyan zajlanak le a kémiai reakciók a szerves molekulák között, világossá vált, hogy elõfordulhatnak pozitív töltésû szénhidrogének - melyeket a vegyészek “karbokationoknak" neveznek - nagyon rövidéletû (mikro- vagy nanoszekundumos élettartamú) közbülsõ termékekként.

A Hajós utca 15 számú házat Ybl Miklós tervezte, ma is impresszív épület - írja most megjelent visszaemlékezéseiben George A. Olah, a University of Southern California professzora. Nyolc éven át a Piaristák Gimnáziumába járt - idézi fel - amelynek Eötvös Loránd és Hevesy György is diákja volt. Tanárai közül élénken emlékezik Öveges Józsefre. (Kémiatanárának nevét elfelejtette.) Utána a Mûegyetemre iratkozott be, majd azt elvégezve Zemplén Géza tanársegédje lett a Szerveskémiai Tanszéken. 1954-ben aktívan részt vett az MTA Központi Kémiai Kutatóintézetének létrehozásában. 1956 õszén hagyta el szülõföldjét. Elõször Kanadában, majd az Egyesül Államokban dolgozott, iparban és egyetemen. Odakünn kezdett tanítani mindmáig megõrzött "kemény magyar kiejtéssel". Jelenleg a Délkaliforniai Egyetem Loker Szénhidrogénkutató Intézetét vezeti. Mint mindnyájan tudjuk, megkapta a kémiai Nobel-díjat (1994), de már az elõtt tiszteleti doktorává fogadta a Budapesti Mûegyetem (1979) és tagjává választotta a Magyar Tudományos Akadémia (1990). (Oláh György maga minõségi különbséget tesz a Nobel-díj elõtt és az után kapott "megtiszteltetések" között.) Számára kutatatás és tanítás elválaszthatatlan egység. Hangoztatja, hogy eredményei egyszersmind tanítványainak is eredményei, akik közt van többek között

"Oh? And how did you like it there?" "To tell you the truth, Dr. Olah, I found it rather depressing." Marvin had feared making this confession, but the Hungarian genius simply spread his arms, and, grinning widely, said, "I DON'T BLAME YOU!" My father says, "That was the best thing that anybody ever said to me." Great story, huh? I try to live by its lessons.

The dedication expected to attract prominent leaders as well as SMC students and employees will be held at 10:30 a.m. on the 1900 Pico Blvd. campus. "This wonderful facility is not only a showcase of the latest in science education but a model of partnerships at work," said SMC President Dr. Piedad F. Robertson . "This project was the result of superb collaboration with federal and state governments." The 98,000-square-foot complex made up of two buildings separated by a courtyard but connected at the second floor opened for classes Aug. 30 but will be officially dedicated Oct. 5. The highest-cost building in SMC history, it contains the latest in equipment and is filled with environmentally sensitive features. The complex was designed by the award winning architectural firm of Anshen + Allen Los Angeles, which worked closely with the college's science faculty members. Offering panoramic views of the Los Angeles basin, the gray-green-white building has a style that is considered "high tech."

Search February, 2002 Volume 1 Issue 1 Page 5 Carbocations The Life of George Olah Story by Brad Clark Return to Issue Index Biography Olah was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1927, the son of Julius Olah and Magda Krasznai. After studying the humanities for many years, he finally found his calling in science while attending the Technical University of Budapest. Exams there were difficult, and those who failed were not allowed to continue. Labwork was also very intense and Olah received a sound foundation in chemistry, specifically organic synthesis. After graduation, working with a carbohydrate chemist, Olah suggested to his supervisor the use of fluorine containing carbohydrates for study. Fluorine chemistry, at the time, was very rare, as most fluoro-chemicals such as FSO3H and BF3 were unavailable. Olah had to prepare them himself in a makeshift lab he referred to as the "balcony laboratory," since it was fashioned from a balcony storage room. They then moved to Sarnia, Ontario in 1957, as Olah took a position at Dow Chemical. His and Judith's second son, Ronald Peter, was born there in 1959.

How does DDT affect laboratory animals? Does DDT really cause breast cancer in women? What was the turning point in DDT history that made it go from a favorite pesticide in the people's eye to a dangerous, never to be used chemical? Dr. Bruce Ames and Dr. Thomas H. Jukes explore these questions and more as they go throughout the history of DDT. They give thoughtful insight into these questions and try to explain why many lab results have been blown out of proportion. They also talk about when DDT first came into play and why. They also explore how many lives the drug actually saved when it was in its prominence. Ever hear that the reason there are so few bald eagles now is because off DDT? Well Dr. Ames and Dr. Jukes explore that idea and explain what really may have caused that to happen.
